Pies By Di — Restaurant in Contiguous United States

All I can say is… WOW! I’ve been to Pies by Di twice now, and both visits have been incredible.

The first time was on the last day of my Asheville trip. I already knew the bakery was gluten-free, but when I asked if they had any dairy-free options, Di told me that about 80% of the bakery is also dairy-free. I completely lost all rational thought at that point — because I never have that many options when eating out!

I’ve been dreaming about going back ever since, and today I finally made the drive from Asheville to Hendersonville just to stock up on goodies. Di is so kind, helpful, and patient while I stand there in awe, trying to process the fact that I can actually eat almost everything in the bakery. She even package everything so I can freeze them and enjoy treats throughout my stay — and told me I can order online when I’m not in the area.

Of course, I couldn’t wait. As soon as I got in the car, I tried the cinnamon roll donut — 10/10! Perfect texture, incredible flavor, and it hit the spot. After lunch, I gave in again and had an apple hand pie — another 10/10. Flaky crust, not too sweet, and the apple filling was the perfect texture.

The rest of my treats are safely in the freezer now, because honestly, I can’t be trusted with them on the counter! Pies by Di is a true gem — delicious, allergy-friendly, and run by someone who clearly puts her heart...

Diana shipped a crumb coated cassata cake with buttercream frosting from North Carolina to Las Vegas, Nevada for our 50th wedding anniversary. It was foot shaking Good. The decorations were so well done. I’m putting them in my keep sake box . We actually took a picture of us cutting the cake at our venue. The other guest also thought that it was absolutely fabulous. I’m not just saying this because I am her mother. I’m saying this because she is a professional. It was not just delicious and beautiful to look at, we could feel the love she put into making it. She took extra special care to have it in a freezer box in addition to the shipping box and it survived the trip . For all others out there. Please check out our daughter Diana Casteel, look at her website order something you will be just like me saying that her pastries are foot shaking Good. I am Pat McMillan a very PROUD mom of Diana Casteel. Owner of...

I stopped in today after seeing reviews on the find me gluten-free app. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in to the biggest smile and the warmest hello and to hear Miss Di say that everything she makes is gluten-free. I could have cried hearing those words. Then I could have cried again when I tasted her amazing desserts. Being gluten-free for a few years now desserts are the things that I miss the most And her donuts were so fluffy and delicious! The muffin was amazing as well. Everything I got did not taste gluten-free at all. To know that everything is prepared safely and delicious is such a rare gem. I will definitely be back on a regular basis! I can’t wait to try her biscuits on Saturday! Life-changing! My photo is after my ride home which a doughnut and a half didn’t survive...
